I know this must be the most, flat out, stupidest (great word) excuse for ‘not’ buying a Mac right now. But I am waiting for Tiger before buying my next… I hate buying one now, only to have to pay for an upgrade one, two or three months from now…

I registered Path Finder recently. Truthfully I don’t use it an awful lot, but I do find it useful for managing large amounts of files.

For example I have a folder in my home directory called ‘from my windows boxen’. It’s the unsorted files I copied to my Powerbook from my old Windows XP system. Since there is alot of stuff in there, Path Finder is great for shuffling things about. The drop stack is a genius idea.

It’s also great for web development.

Here’s hoping Path Finder 4 supports tabbing. That would make it perfect in my eyes.

I thought I’d mention that the drop stack is an old NeXTSTEP idea, that’s actually how the dock worked… I don’t know how on earth it didn’t get moved over to OS X, but I’m glad someone is using the concept.

hmmm… seems it’s been a while since I’ve used NeXTSTEP, lol. The shelf was built into it’s file browser, much like it is in Path Finder. The dock was fairly similar to today’s OS X dock, and did not as far as I can remember act like a shelf. But, long story short, the drop stack idea came from NeXTSTEP.
